Description
Fujita and co-authors track one case of a girl born with a short thigh bone. Leg length gaps can bend the walk and curve the spine. The short-bone ill is rare and can come with hip and knee flaws. A girl of four months came in with a clear leg gap. Her thigh girth split plainly from the sound leg at that check. Staff watched her with scans and gave a brace once she stood.
At age three, her gap passed 3 cm and she moved to a bone ward. By age eight, the gap hit 5.6 cm and her walk was off. Cuts from age eight to past 14 used rods, pins, and bone trims. Three-part walk scans guided the work, and the gap shrank to under 1 cm.
